Planning committee
Decided by Uttlesford Planning Committee on 11 Mar 2026. The council has not yet issued its decision notice.
Approved
As officers recommended.
- Officers advised approval because the site was Grey Belt, housing need was unmet and the benefits outweighed the assessed harms.
- Parish councils and residents raised concerns about access, safety, infrastructure, landscape, ecology, noise and the loss of open space.
- The committee resolved to grant permission, subject to a legal agreement, conditions, revised tree buffers and stronger biodiversity measures.

Uttlesford is faster than most councils at deciding householder applications, ranking #31 out of 296. Only 25% of applications have the time limit extended, well below the 41% national average - the council usually decides on time. Uttlesford is also one of the strictest councils - it refuses more householder applications than almost any other, with only 82% approved vs 90% nationally.
